I have forwarded to the War Department the claims of six revolutionary soldiers as pensioners under the act of 7 th June 1832. Their names are
Ezra Moore Moses Parr Abraham Wells John Richardson Ebenezer Pulsipher & Jeremiah Frazar
A summary of the several terms of service of the first three Moore, Parr & Wells, is contained in a schedule enclosed with their declarations -
John Richards on claims 1 st term of service 2 1/2 months 2 d term of do 12 months 3 d term of Militia do 2 months Total 16 1/2 months
Ebenezer Pulsipher - 1 st term of service 2 months 2 d term of service 6 months 3 d Militia service 9 months 17 months
Jeremiah Frazar - 1 st term of service 6 months 2 d term do 6 months 3 d term during war 3 (between 6 & 7 years) amounting in the whole to about 7 or 8 years
He appears like a war worn veteran, I think there can be no doubt of his identity as being the soldier who served as he states - It is to be hoped that a mistake in the returning office will not deprive one so deserving of the bounty of his government - The mistake of the returning officer probably arose from the fact that he was not released with the others (who were taken at the same time by the Indians) but carried to Canada and kept till peace
I hope the testimony in the other cases will prove satisfactory

to the Department; that these men who are on the verge of the grave, may receive the bounty of their government so richly merited - They are all poor - in very low cir- cumstances to a man - Two of the above applicants Pulsipher & Frazer were under the necessity of procuring testimony out of Court - the applicants living at a distance from the Court House were unable to procure their attendance in Court -
Most Respectfully Yours

Hon d Lewis Cass Secy of War Sir
In behalf of Jeremiah Frazer a Revolutionary soldier I forwarded to the Department of War about the 1 st July 1830 his application for a pension, which together with the letters of the De- partment of 23 d July & 7 th Oct 1830, are of common file. In the letter of the 23 d July it is said that "the man of that name who served in the N th & 1 st Company (Col Vandekeucks Regt, Capt John Graham Company) and for the time mentioned, died some years since". In that of the 7 th Oct it is recommended that if Mr Frazer can produce proof that he is the identical man who served as set forth in his application, to forward it to in order to a further investigation of his claim &c. Owing to his poverty and bad health he has not been able to attend to it until lately
Now enclose the affidavit of Major Watson of Oswego County in this State, who is also a pensioner, which shows the identity of the applicant and proves the time of service &c
This has been obtained at considerable expense and trouble to Mr Frazer and we hope will be sufficient to satisfy the Department of the justice of his claim
Very Respectfully &c Edm d T. Graham
enclosure will prove satisfactory

I have forwarded to the War Department the claims of six revolutionary soldiers as pensioners under the act of 7 th June 1832. Their names are
Ezra Moore Moses Parr Isaac Wells
General Issues BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? No II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? Yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? No V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? 1 st Regt. N. H. Vols. — 3 rd Regt. VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? No VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? No VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? No IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? No X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? No
I hope...

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? Yes
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? No
XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service?
If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct?
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

Hon Lewis Cass Secretary of War-
I have forwarded to the War Department the claims of six revolutionary soldiers as pensioners under the act of 7 th June 1832. Their names are
Ezra Moore
Moses Parr
Ab. Lane Wells
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
I hope the testimony —

Jeremiah Frazer was allowed a pension under the act of 15 May 1828 commencing March 3 rd 1826 & he died August 1847. To procure his pension he had to send in affidavits showing that he was the Frazer mentioned & that he was actually alive as they supposed him to be dead & he was so returned. I want a certified copy of those two affidavits from you to use in getting a claim from this State. Also you will please let me know what the expense will be & I will forward it at once.

Sir,
I herewith forward you the certificate of Jeremiah Grayser. His name appears upon the return of the "Dead" of the New York Reg't, and his claim was heretofore rejected on that ground, but during the last winter a muster roll of Van Schaick's regiment, was obtained, by which it appears, that he "enlisted on 3 d Dec. '76 for the war, and was taken prisoner in '79". This corresponds with his declaration, and may furnish him with a claim to the benefit of the Act of '28, with the execution of which, the Treasury Department is charged.

Enclose the application of Joseph Hagan an heir of General Hagan for pension money claimed to be due the heirs for services performed by General Hagan in the war of the Revolution.
It will be perceived by reference to the papers of General Hagan filed in his application for a pension in 1832. That he was taken a prisoner & detained until the close of the war. He Was he not entitled to his regular pay during the period of his imprisonment. And would not his enlistment for during the war entitle him to the reward of $80 under a Resolu n of Congress passed May 15 th 1778.
Whether or not I am accurate in relation to the genuineness of the claim of the heirs of Hagan, I count upon the better knowledge & disposition of the Department to give the application a hearing, & make such a disposition of it as it deserves. Please

Acknowledge the receipt of the Paper

Dear Sir;
In 1902. I wrote to the Pension Bureau for information regarding Jeremiah Fraser who served in the war of the Revolution, from 1775, until taken prisoner in 1779. received a copy of his pension paper. Since that I wrote for Mrs Ada Coale Hewett, regarding one Benjamin Coale. The time of enlistment and names of his people and as I recall it incidents that if I could get the same of said Jeremiah Fraser record, to work on it would be worth a great deal to me, and enable me to make my claim good. I am presuming that soldiers records were similar, providing the soldier's parents had given consent to the enlistment. If they had a living. I have for two years been trying to locate place and name of Jeremiah Fraser. Father. Adjutant Genl of N. J. and V. G. have given me date - regiment - Co. B. Col. and reported death. Knew nothing of his parents, your reply to my query regarding Benjamin Coale, has emboldened me to write you for all and what ever is on record pertaining to Jeremiah Fraser. Respectfully Yours

Dear Sir
some time ago I made application for membership in Martha Washington Chapter, D.A.R. Sioux City Iowa. Credentials were offered and sent to Washington Head Quarters; I received to day from Registrar General. the following "I find your papers lack completion. a statement from Pension office will be required."
In 1902 I wrote to the Pension Bureau for a copy of Jeremiah Frazer Pension papers. which I received at Dallas Texas. I'm sending in my papers that, also one received Sep 24, 1923. in answer to my letter of inquiry regarding my br- grandfather children, I enclosed the above mentioned papers. Why a statement from Pension office is necessary. I am unable to understand. Jeremiah Frazer born Scotch Plains N.J. 1763. served in N.J. Militia from 1775 to 1776- also in a N.J. Reg. Commander Col John Van Schaick from 1778 to 1779. When he was captured by Indians conveyed to Cana. and held until close of war. The above is a mistake as he made his escape and

remained in Can., until after the war of 1912. a good many years. Papers from Albany N.Y. also Trenton N.J. were sent to the Chapmans and I understood would be returned to me. and I shall insist that I get them.
In letter of Sep 29-1923. I asked for complete information pertaining to Jeremiah Frazier, second names of children listed. as follows-
Callen, Wm D. Daniel T. James F. Jerusha. Charlotte Chatterton, Sally Burch, and Joseph F 6. 1803. Jeremiah his first born was named Jerimiah born in Provesill Canada in 1796- d. 1883. The omission of his name has caused a bit of questioning. I am of the opinion that he was named Callen Jeremiah. I beg that you will give me all possible information regarding the above mentioned It fees are required will remit on receipt of bill. Kindly give this matter your earliest attention. also the required statement.

In reply to your letter dated the 6" and received the 8" instant, you are advised that a careful examination of the papers in the pension claim of Jeremiah Frazer, Sur. File No. 13,093, fails to show any other genealogical data than that furnished you on the 9" ultimo.
Owing to the lack of clerical force available for such a purpose, this Bureau is unable to make full copies of papers on file in such claims, and the following information is furnished in lieu thereof.
Jeremiah Frazer was pensioned under the Act of June 7, 1832, as a Private in the New York Line, at $80.00, per annum, from March 4, 1831, by Certificate # 14,771, issued June 19, 1833, on the New York Agency.
